The air had a slight omnious feeling in it as a slight rise in Reiatsu could be felt. A flight of birds suddenly avoid a specific area in the sky, suddenly the air quivered. A dark shadow appeared in mid-air and the sky ripped open in a mouth like portal. From within the darkness of the portal one figure sprang out, A small stature yet a ravenous aura. The small creature grinned as she let her feet touch the roof of the building. The building was an old small 4 story building on the border of the center of town. The night had already fallen and the moon stood high in the air, it had a slight red glow as if telling that this night was going to be one of great bloodshed.

Noi was feeling happy, this was the second time she had been allowed to enter this fantastic world, The wondrous things and the tasty smelling reiatsu's. The alst time the shinigami hadn;t really given her much satisfaction leaving her with a deep sense of hunger. She hoped this time it would be different. She had been told alot of things about this mission but not really getting everything, it seemed her misison today was 'have fun' That she was planning.

Noi stood up and inhaled deep before releasing her reiatsu, Most of it was still being sealed in her tachi which was hangin on her lower back horizontally. Suddenly the feeling of hunger began to set in, she was getting anxious. With a large breath in she used Gonzui and sucked in a large amount of souls from, salarymen doing overtime in the building below. "Well that didn;t help much" She looked unsatisfied.

The shadow of a young female decorated the smooth wooden flooring, the quiet click of geta sandals echoing slightly throught the hallway. The newly promoted lieutenant of the 9th Divsion wasn't actually in a hallway, simply a Senkaimon. The only emotion on her face was one of a battle-hungry bitch. It was constantly presumed since she was so nice, that she wouldn't like to battle. This was nonsense. Lin's past events had caused her strife, strife that she could take out on the opponent the best way she could. Asides from that, she couldn't appear worried. The Gotei 13 had been thrown into a chaotic flurry once it was announced that the Espada were back, and messing around in Karakura. While news of the Espada replenishment was definitely troublesome, she wouldn't stress much over that. It was just what the enemy wanted. Lin yawned as she exited the Senkaimon, the dim light slowly disappearing as the sliding doors shut.

She looked down at Karakura, smiling slightly out of fond memories. It had been such a long time since she last visited. It was much different now, as last time she visited the place looked somewhat more thriving and bright. Now, it was rather plain looking. Old buildings and homes lit up with their artificial lighting were speckled across the town. She sighed as she heard the male voice of her zanpaktou. ”Your so calm....too calm...” Blitzkrieg mumbled. ”Why shouldn't I be? I have nothing to worry about. It's not like the Gotei 13 would send me out here alone....” Lin replied. It was true, after all. Lin was only a lieutenant, and however powerful they were, they would send an ally to aid her. Especially if she was facing who she presumed to be. ”Whatever, I just hope you know what your getting into.....” He countered. Blitz felt like she wasn't ready for battle, he wanted her to achieve Bankai. Yet, there was nothing he could do to stop her. Lin was hovering just above a low-rise building, yet could still see the city.

Yet when she turned her gaze up to the moon, she blinked at a mysterious figure. Her eyes followed the figures movements, and gasped when she sensed it's Spiritual Pressure. Her attitude regrouped back into one of lust and determination. Lin used a few flashsteps to get higher in the air. She stopped her movement around 30 meters away from the figure, who appeared to be a young woman. It was an Espada, it had to be. The pressure was much too high for anything else. Her facial expression dropped to zero, looking robotic and distant, as the woman sucked souls from the innocents below. She was lusty for battle, angry, and determined underneath, but she wouldn't show that. ”I would like your name, before we battle.” Lin murmured, calmly but loudly. She did not desire to be rude, it made her look pathetic and weak. Lin would simply do the job she was commanded to, and return home.

Noi was staring at the streets below seeing things she had never seen before, even though this was the second time she visited here she could not help but wonder why people build houses in these weird shapes. The slight taste she got from the spirits had not even left her tongue before a presence appeared before her, it was stronger then what she fought before in this world, yet it wasnt as strong as the espada. The presence became clearer it was one of those shinigami, A twinkle of enjoyment and her hunger started to boil up. "My name is Noi and does my snack have a brand?" She grinned at the thought of sinking her teeth into this tasty sensing snack.

Drake had been wandering around the vicinity near Las Noches when he began to feel some of the reiatsu within the great fortress disappear one by one. This obviously only meant one thing, that they were on the move to attack. He would feel inclined to join them however recently his attitude towards the Espada had changed slightly. Although he still felt a protective urge for the majority of hollows and arrancars he had begun to lose interest in the current Espada. He wasn't sure why or what was causing this new feeling towards them but nonetheless he decided he would follow them. However this would be more than simply following and fighting beside the Espada, in fact he felt his inner voice whispering to him, for carnage and destruction, his ressureccion. And once that was unleashed Drake wouldn't exactly care if it was Espada or not in his path for fighting.

So he opened up a Garganta of his own and stepped through into the skies above Karakura Town. He took in a deep breath and let out a large puff of smoke into the air, from behind his mask. He looked around and a couple of strong reiatsu's attracted his attention so he headed in their direction. When he arrived a relatively powerful shinigami was facing off against an Espada, possibly Sexta or Septima. His long black clothes were stirred with a sudden breeze as he watched the two of them meet before he made his entrance. But before he did he made a judgement call, and decided there was something about this Espada that he didnt like the feel of. So he stepped forward on the roof of the building to make himself visible while unfurling his wings behind him and said in quite a loud yet monotone voice. 'Seems you're having fun. And just so you know, i highly doubt that you'll be able to take on this Espada alone.' He then looked over towards the Espada and slowly drew his zanpakuto from his back with one of his hands in his pocket, and and pointed it towards them, and said while flicking his head to the side to reveal one of his eyes within his shaggy hair, 'Sorry about this.'

The smell of her kin filled the air as a Arrancar appeared from the shadows, it seemed to announce that it was prepared to fight Noi. The hunger did not settle yet flared as the amount of nutrition increased. The reiatsu felt strong, it was a challenge and one Noi was looking forward to at that. She placed her hand on the hilt of her tachi, just in case.

Kenshirou made his way to the human world in the senkaimon. Moments before, he had received intel that there was trouble brewing in the human world and that they needed the Shinigami help immediately and so he was told to help another Vice-Captain from the ranks of the Gotei thirteen protection squads.. Captains, Vice-Captains and shinigami alike were all summoned. Lifting his eye-patch to get a full view of his surroundings gave him nostalgic memories of entering the human world for the first time. It was beautiful, yet odd. They did things quite differently and had such odd technology and trend of clothes. When Kenshirou arrived he didn't seem to be that far away from a strong spirtual pressure. It seemed that there was more than one. It couldn't have been a fight as there was no disturbance in the spiritual pressure from the place in hand, so Kenshirou made his way.

In the distance, he had seen what appeared to be a small girl, the lieutenant from the Gotei thirteen protection squads he was supposed to assist, and an arrancar. The confusing thing was that the highest spiritual pressure was coming from the girl. 'So, the Espada are finally here...' Kenshirou thought to himself slightly concerned, knowingly. He flash stepped his way towards his ally, there he appeared alongside his ally. It was Lin Amakei from the ninth squad. Kenshirou appeared with his arms folded and head slightly tilted towards the ground with his eye closed, the other covered with his eye-patch. His bandana and hair blew in the breeze. He noticed that the arrancar was not facing the shinigami but the little girl. Why was this? Did they have some sort of conflict? Kenshirou did not stop to ask questions about this. The sooner the Espada were gone the better. Remaining in his position Kenshirou began to speak. "Espada...What are you doing here?" Kenshirou said in a cold voice.

Yet another appeared, his power was around that of the other shinigami that had appeared. Noi was happy and a childish smile was on her face, her teeth claerly visible on the side that was not covered by her canine holow remains. Her eyes moving from one target to another. It was like a feast to a starving man, Noi was puzzled about who to try first.

Her thought process was broken by Kenshirou "Incog-nee said to have fun, Noi hasn;t been in this world before. Not conting the last time. But that one was a quick visit, Noi wasn;t even allowed to snack on all the delicious treats." She smiled innocently at the male shinigami.

(OOC: SKIP LIN'S TURN NOW, she has been inactive on all characters for awhile. just leave her out of the attack for a bit, so instead of noi posting again skip to the next person's turn. if they do not post in 32hrs then skip them etc))

As he drew his blade and pointed it at the Espada another Shinigami appeared at the scene. He turned his head back to the shinigami and said to him in a calm tone 'Welcome, another ally would be useful in this position. That is if you'll let me help you.' He then turned his cold look back to the Espada. 'Now lets just stop with all this beating about the bush, and just get on with it.' With his unfurled wings he propelled himself backwards and into the air. He then aimed his head towards the Espada as he concentrated his reiatsu inbetween them. A dark grey sphere began to appear as he charged his cero, fairly quickly too before letting it fire towards the girl.

As the cero went to hit he brought up his blade and grabbed the handle with his left hand before bowing his head and closing his eyes. He then opened them suddenly, with a new glint in his eyes, and anger in his voice before roaring the words 'Slice and sear! Neltharion!!' His body then exploded with black reiatsu similar in appearance to fire. As it cleared Drake's resurreccion was revealed. His body was now covered in hollow bones and had grown talons and claws upon his feet, and a tail with a spike at the end. And these were all entirely black, bar his original hollow mask, which remained grey in colour. As the transformation completed he reared his head back and let out a huge roar sending out a shock wave knocking anyone in the close vicinity. He let out a small growling noise as he turned his head back to the Shinigami and said, in a more ominous and angry tone 'You better watch yourself around me, 'cos like this i can't exactly control what i will and wont kill!!' With that he then turned and roared once more, but not loud enough to send a shock wave, and waited for the Espada to make her move.

The dark Cero headed for Noi, Noi had once tried eating one from a smaller arrancar but that did not end well. With a fluent motion Noi drew her Tachi let it lightly skid over her palm and a red so dark it might be confused with black charged at her palm. With only a few meters to spare before impact Noi let loose a Gran Rey Cero, the smaller cero got swallowed into the it and continue to head for the Arrancar which was now in his resserection. Noi slightly smiled glaring at the shinigami with a hunger for his flesh. Noi had eaten and taste her own kind since she could remember, yet this new creature she didn't know the taste yet.

Kenshirou focused his attention towards the arrancar with his sword drawn who stated that he was indeed here to fight against the espada and requested his assistance. Kenshirou nodded towards him before observing the espada and her actions. Before long, the arrancar unfurled his wings and flew backwards before summoning a a cero and unleashing it towards the young looking girl. The girl on the other hand, had cast her own cero which engulfed the arrancars and continued in his path. Without caution the arrancar released his resurreccion, appearing with hollow bones, talons, claws and a tail with a sharp spike at the end. 'It appears this arrancar knows exactly what he's up against to go this far so early in battle...' Kenshirou thought to himself. Black reiatsu filled their surroundings sending gusts of wind and pressure in all directions. Kenshirou remained still, acting calm and seeing where this battle could need his assistance. As the arrancar finished his transformation he let out a loud roar causing a shock wave.

He then stated that if Kenshirou got in his way he would not be responsible for his actions. One wrong move and Kenshirou could be up against two opponents which could cause complications. Kenshirou then turned his attention to the girl who stared menacingly at him. She had an odd look as if her hunger was driving her towards her killing intentions. Kenshirou then smirked and waited to see the power of the girl and if the espada lived up to their name. Kenshirou removed his eye-patch and stored it into his pouch around his waist. His vision, now restored, gave him the ability to follow attacks more clearly and sharpen his reflexes.

Slowly Noi moved towards the shinigami with each step she picked up her passe, after 6 steps she was running and when she was but 10 meters away she used a sonido to ed up in a crouching position, her hand placed on her tachi. Noi grinned and with one fluent motion she drew it and let it fling up from the bottom left aimed at the shinigami's waist. It would travel from there to the shinigami's right shoulder, if it would hit.

((OOC: this is drake btw, seems the site doesnt want to let me log over atm :S and also as we dont know when lin will be back should we maybe change the posting order slightly so it goes like noi, me, ken? as its a bit odd to wait like 3 posts just to dodge an attack and try to counter, but i dont mind if we keep it the same as it is atm))

As Drake appeared in his ressureccion, he noticed that his cero didnt exactly miss or was even dodged, but instead swallowed up by a larger, more powerful cero. Being an ex Espada, Drake knew that this new cero was a Gran Rey Cero. It completely obliterated his own cero and continued its path towards him. If he didnt react quickly, even in resurreccion a direct hit would be dangerous. But his reaction time was quick and right before the cero hit he used his wings to launch himself further up into the air before doing a loop to watch as the cero passed on harmlessly below him. Due to his wings, his speed was increased beyond that which would have been considered normal for his own rank, and being an ex Cuatra Espada, although his power wouldnt compare much to the current Espada, he was still quick.

Once the cero had passed Drake darted his head back and fourth, his eyes wide and searching for the arrancar who just fired the cero at him. 'Where? Where? Where is she?!' He muttered to himself, with a guttural growling sound. His sight then snapped onto her when he noticed her charging at the Shinigami who was also here to fight the Espada. Without hesitation he flung himself towards the pair of them, and as the girl crouched down and struck at the shinigami, Drake flew in behind her and went to strike her head with the claws on his left hand, before using the momentum to swing himself around and slash at her with his tail spike. If she managed to dodge the first attack, then the length of his tail was still likely to strike, unless she managed to get far enough way from the original strike. After the attack Drake crouched down on all fours and prepared for the next move.

{OCC: well i don know XD would be up to light ;o it depends on how much time is between your posts and the ones of ken in char. cause if they are seconds i apart it might be better to keep this order}

Without confirming the hit on the shinigami she felt the presence of the arrancar behind her with a glance she noticed the talon closing on her. With a quike motion she let loose a bala towards the talon, using the pressure of the bala and letting the spiritual pressure under her feet fall apart she fell quick enough to dodge the tail sweep. Luckly because the arrancar had chosen to sneak up from behind the tail sweep was now aimed at the shinigami.

"You snacks are strong" She grinned widely and her hunger flared "you guys could turn out to be a full meal" She decided it wasn;t the time to hold back. "Howl, Lupo" She let the sword slide into her mouth, swallowing it whole. The immense spirutal presence of the Espada arrancar let loose, her body buldged and a white armor formed, with a twitching motions claws appear on her hands and feet. Her teeth formed into pointy and sharp fangs. On her face all the fragments disappeared leaving only blood red crosses over her eyes. Her legs becoming more wolf like and a tail formed. The tail white with a red tip, in her hair two red wolf ears appeared. She let loose a howl and the air quivered slightly, the hunger could be felt by all nearby, she wasn;t planning on holding back anymore, for the first time in a long time she could cut loose.
